, governor romney will be voting tomorrow, belmont, massachusetts. not far from where you areinboston. hewill also campaign in ohio and pennsylvania, a state that hasn't voted for a republican presidential nominee since george bush senior, back in '88. what does that tell you? is that a hail mary backup in case he loses ohio or just worth a try since he's in the neighborhood or does he think he really has a chance? >> it depends on who you ask, anderson. clearly the polls have tightened up in pennsylvania. they took a look at it, when you talk to the folks in the romney campaign they say listen, we have spent the money, we need to spend in all these battleground states that john was talking about. all of our resources that we can put in there are there. we are up on the air as much as we can be. there's no more room for ads on tv in all these battleground states and they took a look at pennsylvania and said first of all, it's right next door to ohio so not like they have to go across the country to go there. plus more than 90% of pennsylvanians will vote on election day. there's no early

frombostonbackto new york and maybe even western pennsylvania. you could get some of that snow. remember, this thing is six days away. a nor'easter is almost impossible to forecast properly 24 hours away. so you're going to have to let the forecasters get a handle on this. it is going to be cold. philadelphia, you will be in the 30s. new york city, all the way down to 33 by tuesday morning. that's the low for the day. highs only in the 40s. you have five million people without power. you don't need more wind. you don't need more rain. you don't need rain coming in windows that don't exist or roofs that are gone. you certainly don't need temperatures in the 30s when you don't have heat. >> we got to try to get electricity to folks quickly because before temperatures really drop. it's already brutally cold out here. appreciate the update on that. >>> the death toll from sandy now approaching 100 in this country. we're learning more about the lives that were lost and we honor some of those lives ahead. ♪ [ engine revs ] ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] the mercedes-benz winter event i

predicting where sandy was going to go. >> think run up the atlantic coast and bring ittobostonandnew york and all the way down to d.c. and maybe even potential for snow to the west. other problems when this goes by, the winds come like this. what does that do? it grabs more cold air, more cold air that will bring low temperatures down into the 30s. philadelphia, seaside heights where half the houses are knocked down the first couple of rows from the ocean. below freezing, and no heat for people trying to recover. >> when do we think this is going to happen? >> it happens on wednesday afternoon. >> there could even be a piece -- a small piece coming out on monday, but the main storm looks like it approaches the northeast on wednesday. >> all right. for people who have a little bit of time to get ready for this, there is a warning that this is coming, so people have a couple of days to really hunker down and try to figure this out. thank you, chad. really appreciate it. you got one storm that is gone and another that might be coming to the east coast. still digging out. >> we just got

in the northeast, and into philadelphia and newyork,boston, dry,sunny skies. a few degrees below average. southeast similar scenario. of course, there's the west. so that's where those storms beginning to come in. but pretty quiet. temperaturewise, maybe just a few degrees below average. chicago 53, in the 40s in the twin cities. today, but, tonight, late tonight, big celestial sky sighting if nur into that. leon id meteor shower. around 2:00 tomorrow morning, look up into the sky, guys, toward the cancellation leo, that's where it looks like this is emanating from, and we also have a new moon so the skies are pretty dark. so pretty good conditions for a lot of the country. see some meteors coming at you tonight. >> all right. thank you. >> okay. meet you out there. >> get your kids up at 2:00 in the morning for that. >> oh, sure. >> christine romans has today's best advice coming up. the wheels of progress haven't been very active lately. but because of business people like you, things are beginning to get rolling. and regions is here to help. making it easier with the expertise and ser

degrees up in albany and 35inboston. we'llrebound a little bit over the next couple days. generally speaking at or slightly below average with temps getting back into the 50s for friday and saturday. back in the 40s on sunday. daytime highs, 50 in chicago, san francisco 66, 44 in denver, 62 in san cass city. the weather map fairly quiet outside of this disturbance that's rolling across parts of the carolinas. it will be mild and quiet across parts of the central plainsant pacific northwest. getting into a sloppy pattern there if you're traveling to portland or seattle. this is the time of year, the next couple of weeks are typically the wettest of the season and in a pretty wet spot. bring along the umbrella and rain gear if you're heading up towards portland or seattle, san francisco looks to be nice but rather cool. that's the latest from here, guys, you are looking dry in the big apple but a fall crisp in the air for sure. >> indeed. we will agree with that. thank you so much, rob. >> 44 monz after the hour right now. >>> ace is high. i love this story. the two men who grabbed on
